Borussia Dortmund says midfielder Sven Bender will miss Sunday's Bundesliga game at Hannover with a hip injury.
Dortmund says Bender has a slight muscle tear from Tuesday's 1-1 draw with Arsenal in the Champions League.
Team doctor Markus Braun says Bender might be fit again for the following league game against Mainz.
Bender's defensive midfield partner, Sebastian Kehl, is suspended for the game in Hannover, as is playmaker Mario Goetze.
